Considering he’s being listed as high as No. 3 on some mock drafts (including ours, which will be up later tonight), the chances the Spurs could execute such a move without parting with a major piece (say, Tony Parker) seem miniscule.

It’s also fair to question what all the fuss is about after a Beal enjoyed a solid but unspectacular freshman season at Florida (14.8 ppg, 34% on 3-pointers). But at just 18 years of age, the consensus No. 1 guard prospect in this year’s class obviously has tons of room to grow.
